This is on the urlbar, not awesomescreen, but the distinction is purposefully hard to see.

We intentionally strip subdomains that are www, m, or mobile because they are fairly common and I wanted to emphasize the domain (for security). On some small screens it can be pushed fairly far over.

should we consider this as a bug or its by design?

Wes - Should we get some feedback from the security team on this behavior? Maybe desktop does something similar?
